This tamarind fruit pulp is sweetish and adds a sharp flavour to dishes. It is used for making chutneys, curries, sauces and soups. Pulp is a carminative and laxative given as combination in biliousness and flushed conditions. As its anti-scorbutic properties, the pulp is used by sailors in place of lime or lemon juice.Tamarind is an important ingredient in many south Indian food preparations such as tamarind rice, rasam, and sambar and tamarind chutney.
